Today I did a 348 miles road trip.
I zero'd all the computed on board figures, filled the tank to the brim, could see the petrol just below the flap.
Road was urban A roads for 12 miles, motorway for some 225 miles at 65mph on cruise control, save 2 motorway service comfort stops, the remaining was a mixuture of dual, averaging 55/65 mph, single, averaging 55 and the last 12 miles was single track, averaging 35/40, with lots of stops in passing places but no comfort stops after leaving motorway.
I'll brim the tank at my next fill up and see how my calculated equates to the computed.
Disappointed as I was expecting more mpg!!!!!!!!

My hybrid KIA Niro averaged 64.2 mph on the day according to the head unit which is usually within 2% of reality.

That's all types of conditions from short trips to the surf (almost daily, to longer urban trips, occasional highway to Brisbane (then in Brisbane traffic) and a very occasional longer trip.
Can record as high as 56 mpg on a pure highway trip.

My Corolla is averaging 40.4 mpg since I got it three years ago.My wifes old 1.5 Rolla used to do about the same, cheap as chips to run compared to my 3.0 Altezza which does about 20mpg on a trip and worse around town. So far the i30 hasnt been too bad, about 30mpg for a 1.6 with a way heavier body than the Rolla was, would be a lot better if it had better gearing for the motorway.
